1. Introduction to FGT_100EF-v6-build1778-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for Fortinet’s FortiGate 100EF series firewalls, designed for medium-sized networks requiring 10Gbps+ threat inspection throughput. As part of the FortiOS v6.4 maintenance branch (released Q3 2024), build 1778 introduces hardware-accelerated threat prevention optimizations while maintaining backward compatibility with SD-WAN configurations.

The update focuses on NP6Lite ASIC-driven security processing, enabling 90μs latency for industrial control system (ICS) protocol inspections. It addresses 17 CVEs identified in SCADA environments while improving REST API stability for automation workflows.
